## Issues?

You can start by looking through the `good first issues` label. Also, you might want to contribute to a particular aspect of design that you’re most proficient in … don’t worry we’ve got you! Each design task is given a label of the type of design work required to complete that issue `UI/UX`, `graphics`, `design-documentation`.

**Yes! 💪🏽 seen what you’d love to help with?**

Just start, you don’t need approval from anyone. Once you have something ready for review, drop a comment and someone will attend to you ☺️.

We can’t wait to receive your contributions! :) Feel free to talk to us about any of the design-related issues.
